All items in the "Give" Category at Spiral Garden (top menu) and the "Parent" category also (side menu) are 10% off from now until the day after Mother's Day. I will gift wrap all Mother's Day items for free if you ask me to do so in the Comments section when ordering. I can send them directly to you, or to your Mum (or another special Mum who deserves spoiling).

Don't forget we still have several items on Sale for up to 45% off - some of the marked down items are a further 10% off with the Mother's Day special!

"Handwork is a form of birth, you conceive the idea, you nurture it, you wait and dream of the what it will look like when it is all made, then the final push and you are done... a master piece!"

The creator of Teaching Handwork is the mother of 2 beautiful girls who also teaches Handwork in a local waldorf school to over 200 children every week. She invites you to come share your thoughts and new craft ideas for the children. What a wealth of inspiration!

I just love to see what others make with Wood & Wire Dolls. Here, they mostly become gnomes or fairies. Imagine my surprise when Spiral Garden customer Sue sent me this photo of Kate & Warwick's wedding cake! Wow! A gorgeous cake and a beautiful idea.

I get a lot of emails from parents around Australia who would love to send their children to a Steiner school, but find that they are too expensive, too far away, the local one doesn't suit their needs or there is some other hurdle. There is a list of Steiner Schools in Australia here.

This journal is primarily aimed at Waldorf teachers, parents and all those involved in Steiner Education. That circle is expanding rapidly in many new directions and as the international debate on education and childhood increases in volume and intensity. Living Education is there to serve all those who wish to participate in developing a spiritually based approach to education that tries to meet the inner needs of the growing child.

Some Living Education magazines are available here to download for free.
